single headlight conversion

[owls88]

is it easy to do your self , do u just take the old grill of disconnect the inner lights then fit a single headlight grill? 
cheers dom

yeah thats pretty much it lol

I would take the bottom trim off the old grille for the new one as well 

[owls88]

sound , what would i do with the wire i'd disconnected , just trim them back and is the grille easy to take off ?

[TwistedAspect]

The two wires should have a shroud on each of the connectors....I have left them in there in case I decide to revert back again to the quad light set up...you never know 

As for removeal, there should be 2 posidrive screws at the top into the slam plate, the rest just unclips....REALLY easy job

Just unplug the smaller inner lamps and tie the plug up out the way somewhere. Its also a good idea to blob some grease on the contacts of the old plug to stop them corroding in case you ever want to use them again.

I keep toying with this idea myself.  Aren't the inner headlights the main beam though?  How do you get main beam selection using just the outers?  (I'm going to pre-empt a  :embarassed: here incase it is blantantly obvious).

[Judderi]

Its amazing how many people ask this question. No the Inners are not your main beam. If you ever get a chance to look at your bulbs in your larger lights you will see that they have 2 filaments. 1 is for dipped beam and the other for main beam. The inners are there simply to help out your existing larger lamps.

If you dont belive me then unplug your inners and stand infront watching while somebody puts main beam on! Prepare to see stars! 

Oh and if your wondering where the sidelights work from, its a completely seperate small bulb.

Ahaaaaaaaa!  I think another  :embarassed: will suffice here.  Me thinks once the audio is sorted it's a toss between a full Mongoose SS system or a 2 lamp/grill conversion.  Cheers for the enlightenment.

No prob.
